About this limited edition photograph:

The light painted photograph “Troll’s Bridge” was created in Twin Springs Park in Decorah, Iowa.

To create this light painted photograph I placed my Canon T3i camera on a tripod and I used a long exposure of 333 seconds. I used a powerful spotlight and an aqua colored gel filter to cast light onto the snow, being careful not to cast any light onto the bridge itself. Finally, I used my spotlight and an amber colored gel filter to cast warm colored light onto the trees behind the bridge to give the appearance of a warm glow. 

I named the photograph Troll’s Bridge because the bridge reminded me of trolls (I am a Norwegian from Decorah, after all).

This photograph came off my camera as-is, and involved zero post-processing or Photoshop.
